Season 1
Lock. Your. Doors.
Synopsis
Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer (2021), Season 1 is the Netflix true-crime documentary you can watch online on iFILM — four episodes tracing a real manhunt across 1985 Los Angeles.
The season follows the case through two sheriff's detectives, Gil Carrillo and Frank Salerno. Scattered murders, rapes and abductions look unrelated at first, until the partners spot a single brutal pattern linking them. Evidence is thin, the body count keeps climbing, and one impounded car finally cracks a door open. Panic spreads through the city as the mayor leaks findings to the press and headlines beg residents to lock up. Who Richard Ramirez was, and how he was finally cornered, comes together through archival footage and the voices of people who lived it.
What sets this one apart is its refusal to glamorize the killer — survivors, victims and dogged police work hold the center. It lands for anyone who wants true crime without the gloss. Stream all episodes of Season 1 online on iFILM.
